Luna you seem to have a clear understanding and well grounded reasoning for your preferred course of action. 

It is extremely difficult for most cisgender people to empathize with how we feel.  They just don't get it and can too readily imagine horrid consequences and fears that they alone validate.  This really is their shortcoming and their problem until it hits you.  I am a parent, a grand parent and a great grand parent and some parents forget one of their primary roles is to facilitate your independence.  Making real choices with their support works best.   Encouraging your fears by reinforcing theirs keeps you a dependent juvenile.  They do want you to grow up, don't they?

You might reassure them that they taught you well and provide for an excellent education but that this must be your decision and you are ready to deal with and understand the consequences.  You know they love you and you want their support.  When your choice in this matter is respected they are also saying to themselves that you are trusted and we did well.  We don't want you to live in fear.

Yes exactly that and I do know that they worry about me but I don't know how I can convey a message to them that makes them understand. I just kinda feel unheard and they don't trust my decision they are a bit too protective and have always been...
